Schmid Gourmet GmbH

Speck Alto Adige IGP

Schmid Gourmet GmbH produces Speck Alto Adige IGP, the iconic cold-smoked and dry-cured pork ham of South Tyrol's 116-municipality protected zone. Rooted in a family butchery established in Merano, the operation moved to Plaus in the heart of Burgraviato in 1979, modernizing in 1987 to meet EU standards. Three generations—from founder Nikolaus through his son Franz to grandsons Thomas and Joachim—have built reputation for precision curing, with Joachim overseeing production since 1993. The company rebranded as Schmid Speck in 2012 to claim its earned standing, joining the Consortio di Tutela the following year.
